Hot temperatures are set to return to northwest Europe in July, at a time when some parts of the continent are already under drought warning.
Thermometers are expected to rise to above-average levels in the UK, Germany and parts of France throughout July, according to meteorologists surveyed by Bloomberg. A wave of warm, dry weather will settle in after a few days of sparse rain and some wind in the first half of the month.
